Cajun Blackened Blend

Cajun Blackened Blend is a handcrafted Louisiana-style seasoning from Old Town Spice Shop, built on smoky paprika, garlic, and a measured hit of cayenne. The blend brings together salt, paprika, garlic, pepper, cumin, onion, thyme, mustard, oregano, cayenne, celery seed, and bay leaf for the bold, peppery crust that defines blackened cooking. It is assertively spiced and made for cooks who want real heat and depth.
